Tahini is a secret weapon for a scrumptious salad dressing. It can be whisked with water, lemon and a touch of salt, used to make a delicious creamy dressing or combined with coconut yoghurt as I’ve done in this wholesome recipe. This dish ticks all the boxes for flavour, fibre and nutrition to satiate and energise you.
